Abstract

Engineering Chemical Sciences
A number of binary Cu-X alloys (X = Fe, Cr, Si and Al) with alloying elements up to ≈ 12 at % for Fe and Cr; and ≈ 20 at% for Al and Si were cast into thin ribbons (30-50 μm thickness) by chill block melt spinning. The structural state of the as-cast ribbons was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and microstructures of the quenched alloys were compared with the ingot equivalent. It was possible to achieve solid solution and fine dispersion of secondary phase beyond XRD detection up to ≈ 8 at% solute for Fe and Cr, which is beyond the expected concentration limits from equilibrium phase diagrams. The effects of alloying on resistivity and microhardness are also presented.
